3 Bed Detached House For Sale

Tucked away on the peaceful outskirts of Ipswich, in the village of Akenham, this beautifully refurbished and extended semi-detached home perfectly balances countryside living with modern convenience. Surrounded by open fields and farmland, it offers a genuine rural feel while keeping shops, schools, and transport links within easy reach.

The front of the house retains its traditional charm with cosy, well-proportioned rooms and a welcoming open hallway that immediately gives a sense of space. A newly added front porch provides practical storage and everyday convenience, while the area under the stairs has been cleverly designed to suit multiple uses — from a reading nook to a compact home office.

To the rear, the extension transforms the home. The bright, open-plan kitchen diner is a real showpiece, with a skylight and bi-fold doors flooding the space with light and opening onto the new patio. The adjoining utility room adds everyday practicality without interrupting the flow of the main space.

Upstairs, the extended primary bedroom feels like a boutique retreat, featuring vaulted ceilings, a skylight, a walk-in wardrobe, and a stylish en-suite. All three bedrooms comfortably fit double beds, making this an ideal home for growing families. A modern family bathroom completes the upstairs, with a downstairs WC adding extra convenience.

Outside, the large garden has been newly seeded to grass and enclosed with fresh fencing, offering plenty of room for children, pets, or entertaining. There’s a spacious patio area for dining, a new driveway providing ample off-road parking, and planning permission already in place for a detached garage to the side — giving the next owner the option to expand even further.

Essentially a brand-new home inside and out, this is a move-in-ready property that combines modern living with countryside serenity — ideal for young families or upsizers wanting the best of both worlds.
